[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air cooler installation technology, and in particular relates to an auxiliary positioning device for air cooler installation. Background Technology
[0002] An air cooler is a device that uses airflow to cool equipment or liquids. Its working principle involves using a fan or natural wind to direct airflow through heat sinks or pipes, carrying away heat. It is widely used in industrial, automotive, electronic, and power systems, offering advantages such as energy saving, easy maintenance, and strong adaptability. However, existing technologies have the following problems: Air cooler installation requires ensuring all components are intact before using tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and levels to mount the air cooler onto the matching bracket. While bolt installation is common, vibrations during air cooler operation can cause bolts to gradually loosen, increasing the risk of installation instability. Regular maintenance requires frequent bolt disassembly and reassembly, increasing time and labor costs. Currently, there is no more stable and convenient component for mounting air coolers onto brackets. Therefore, an auxiliary positioning device for air cooler installation is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an auxiliary positioning device for installing air coolers. This device offers the advantage of enabling more stable and convenient installation of air coolers onto mounting brackets. It solves the problem that existing air cooler installations require ensuring all components are intact before using tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and levels to install the air cooler onto the matching mounting bracket. While bolt installation is common, vibrations during air cooler operation can cause bolts to gradually loosen, increasing the risk of installation instability. Regular maintenance requires frequent disassembly and reassembly of bolts, increasing time and labor costs. Furthermore, existing air coolers lack a more stable and convenient component for mounting onto the bracket.
[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows: an auxiliary positioning device for installing an air cooler includes an air cooler and a mounting bracket. The bottom of the air cooler is movably connected to the top of the mounting bracket. Positioning shells are fixedly connected to both sides of the air cooler. Two positioning frames that cooperate with the positioning shells are movably connected to the top of the mounting bracket. The surface of the positioning shell contacts the inner cavity of the positioning frame. An adjusting slider is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning frame. Two adjusting grooves that cooperate with the adjusting sliders are opened inside the mounting bracket. The surface of the adjusting slider is movably connected to the inner cavity of the adjusting groove. An adjusting device is provided on the opposite side of the two adjusting sliders. A positioning device is provided in the inner cavity of the positioning shell.
[0005] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the positioning device includes two positioning plates. The opposite sides of the two positioning plates penetrate the positioning shell and extend to the outer side of the inner cavity of the positioning shell. A spring is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two positioning plates. A positioning rod that cooperates with the positioning plates is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the positioning shell. The surface of the positioning rod is movably connected to the inner cavity of the positioning plates. By setting the positioning device, when the air cooler moves to the top of the mounting bracket, the positioning device has a limiting effect on the position of the air cooler.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner cavity of the positioning shell is movably connected to a limit control frame. The side of the limit control frame away from the positioning rod penetrates the positioning shell and extends to the outside of the inner cavity of the positioning shell. By setting the limit control frame, when the limit control frame moves, it can drive the extrusion column frame to move along the inner cavity of the inclined extrusion frame.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the two positioning plates is fixedly connected to an inclined extrusion frame on one side opposite to the other. The bottom of the limiting control frame is fixedly connected to an extrusion column frame that works in conjunction with the inclined extrusion frame. The surface of the extrusion column frame is movably connected to the inner cavity of the inclined extrusion frame. By setting the inclined extrusion frame and the extrusion column frame, when the extrusion column frame moves, it can generate an extrusion force on the inclined extrusion frame. The inclined extrusion frame subjected to the extrusion force can drive the positioning plates to move.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two positioning grooves are provided on both the left and right sides of the positioning frame to cooperate with the positioning plate. The surface of the positioning plate contacts the inner cavity of the positioning groove. By setting the positioning groove, when the positioning shell moves to the inner cavity of the positioning frame, the limiting control frame is released, and the restoring force generated by the spring returning to its shape will drive the positioning plate to be inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning groove. The cooperation between the positioning plate and the positioning groove has a limiting effect on the positioning position.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the adjusting device includes an adjusting frame, the surface of which is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjusting slider, and an adjusting plate movably connected to the surface of the adjusting frame. Two springs are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two adjusting plates, and opposite sides of the two springs are fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the adjusting frame. By providing the adjusting device, when the air cooler needs to be installed at different positions on the mounting bracket, the adjusting device can adjust the position of the air cooler on the mounting bracket.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the mounting bracket has several adjustment slots on both the left and right sides that cooperate with the adjustment plate. The surface of the adjustment plate contacts the inner cavity of the adjustment slot. By setting the adjustment slot, when the positioning frame moves to the appropriate position, the adjustment plate is released, and the restoring force generated by the spring returning to its shape will drive the adjustment plate to be inserted into the inner cavity of the adjustment slot. The cooperation between the adjustment plate and the adjustment slot has a limiting effect on the position of the positioning frame.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. This utility model solves the problem of existing air coolers requiring the installation of accessories to be intact before using tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and levels to install the air cooler onto the matching mounting bracket. Although bolt installation is common, the vibration of the air cooler during operation can cause the bolts to gradually loosen, increasing the risk of installation instability. During regular maintenance, the bolts need to be frequently disassembled and reassembled, increasing time and labor costs. However, existing air coolers do not have a more stable and convenient component for installation onto the mounting bracket.
[0013] 2. By setting a positioning device, when the inclined extrusion frame moves, it will drive the two positioning plates to move along the surface of the positioning rod to the side that is closer to each other. At the same time, the force generated when the positioning plates move causes the spring to undergo elastic deformation. The restoring force generated by the spring returning to its shape will drive the positioning plates to be locked into the inner cavity of the positioning groove. The positioning device has a limiting effect on the position of the air cooler. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, an auxiliary positioning device for installing an air cooler provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes an air cooler 1 and a mounting bracket 2. The bottom of the air cooler 1 is movably connected to the top of the mounting bracket 2. Positioning shells 3 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the air cooler 1. Two positioning frames 4 that cooperate with the positioning shells 3 are movably connected to the top of the mounting bracket 2. The surface of the positioning shell 3 contacts the inner cavity of the positioning frame 4. An adjusting slider 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning frame 4. Two adjusting grooves 6 that cooperate with the adjusting sliders 5 are opened inside the mounting bracket 2. The surface of the adjusting slider 5 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the adjusting groove 6. An adjusting device 7 is provided on the opposite side of the two adjusting sliders 5. A positioning device 8 is provided in the inner cavity of the positioning shell 3.
[0022] refer to Figure 4 The positioning device 8 includes two positioning plates 801. The opposite sides of the two positioning plates 801 penetrate the positioning shell 3 and extend to the outside of the inner cavity of the positioning shell 3. A spring 802 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two positioning plates 801. A positioning rod 803 that cooperates with the positioning plates 801 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the positioning shell 3. The surface of the positioning rod 803 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the positioning plates 801.
[0023] The above solution is adopted: by setting the positioning device 8, when the air cooler 1 moves to the top of the mounting bracket 2, the positioning device 8 has a limiting effect on the position of the air cooler 1.
[0024] refer to Figure 4 The inner cavity of the positioning shell 3 is movably connected to the limit control frame 9. The side of the limit control frame 9 away from the positioning rod 803 passes through the positioning shell 3 and extends to the outside of the inner cavity of the positioning shell 3.
[0025] The above solution is adopted: by setting a limit control frame 9, when the limit control frame 9 moves, it can drive the extrusion column frame 11 to move along the inner cavity of the inclined extrusion frame 10.
[0026] refer to Figure 4 Two positioning plates 801 are fixedly connected to a beveled extrusion frame 10 on opposite sides. The bottom of the limit control frame 9 is fixedly connected to an extrusion column frame 11 that works with the beveled extrusion frame 10. The surface of the extrusion column frame 11 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the beveled extrusion frame 10.
[0027] Using the above solution: by setting the inclined extrusion frame 10 and the extrusion column frame 11, when the extrusion column frame 11 moves, it can generate extrusion force on the inclined extrusion frame 10, and the inclined extrusion frame 10 subjected to extrusion force can drive the positioning plate 801 to move.
[0028] refer to Figure 2 The positioning frame 4 has two positioning grooves 12 on both the left and right sides that are used in conjunction with the positioning plate 801. The surface of the positioning plate 801 is in contact with the inner cavity of the positioning groove 12.
[0029] The above solution is adopted: by setting the positioning groove 12, when the positioning shell 3 moves into the inner cavity of the positioning frame 4, the limit control frame 9 is released, and the restoring force generated by the spring 802 returning to its shape will drive the positioning plate 801 to be inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning groove 12. The cooperation between the positioning plate 801 and the positioning groove 12 has a limiting effect on the positioning position.
[0030] refer to Figure 3 The adjusting device 7 includes an adjusting frame 701. The surface of the adjusting frame 701 is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjusting slider 5. An adjusting plate 702 is movably connected to the surface of the adjusting frame 701. A compression spring 703 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two adjusting plates 702. The opposite side of the two compression springs 703 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the adjusting frame 701.
[0031] The above solution is adopted: by setting the adjustment device 7, when the air cooler 1 needs to be installed in different positions on the mounting bracket 2, the adjustment device 7 has the function of adjusting the position of the air cooler 1 on the mounting bracket 2.
[0032] refer to Figure 3 The mounting bracket 2 has several adjustment slots 13 on both the left and right sides that are used in conjunction with the adjustment plate 702. The surface of the adjustment plate 702 is in contact with the inner cavity of the adjustment slot 13.
[0033] The above solution is adopted: by setting the adjustment groove 13, when the positioning frame 4 moves to the appropriate position, the adjustment plate 702 is released, and the restoring force generated by the compression spring 703 returning to its shape will drive the adjustment plate 702 to be locked into the inner cavity of the adjustment groove 13. The cooperation between the adjustment plate 702 and the adjustment groove 13 has a limiting effect on the position of the positioning frame 4.
[0034] The working principle of this utility model:
[0035] When the air cooler 1 needs to be installed more stably and conveniently on the mounting bracket 2, the user first pulls the limit control frame 9 upwards. When the limit control frame 9 moves, it will drive the extrusion column frame 11 to move along the inner cavity of the inclined extrusion frame 10. The two inclined extrusion frames 10, which are subjected to extrusion force, will move towards each other. When the inclined extrusion frames 10 move, they will drive the two positioning plates 801 to move towards each other along the surface of the positioning rod 803. At the same time, the force generated when the positioning plates 801 move causes the spring 802 to undergo elastic deformation. When the positioning plates 801 move completely into the inner cavity of the positioning shell 3, the positioning shell 3 is moved into the inner cavity of the positioning frame 4. Then, the limit control frame 9 is released, and the restoring force generated by the spring 802 returning to its shape will drive the positioning plates 801 to engage in the inner cavity of the positioning groove 12. The cooperation between the positioning plates 801 and the positioning groove 12 affects the positioning shell. The position of the air cooler 1 is restricted by the adjustment plate 702. Then, the adjustment plate 702 is pulled to the opposite side of the two adjustment plates 702, which moves the adjustment plate 702 along the surface of the adjustment frame 701. At the same time, the force generated when the adjustment plate 702 moves causes the compression spring 703 to elastically deform. When the adjustment plate 702 is disengaged from the inner cavity of the adjustment groove 13, the positioning frame 4 is pulled forward or backward. When the positioning frame 4 moves, it will drive the adjustment slider 5 to move along the inner cavity of the adjustment groove 6. When the positioning frame 4 moves, it will drive the air cooler 1 to move. When the air cooler 1 moves to the appropriate position, the adjustment plate 702 is released. The restoring force generated by the compression spring 703 returning to its shape will drive the adjustment plate 702 to lock into the inner cavity of the adjustment groove 13. The cooperation between the adjustment plate 702 and the adjustment groove 13 restricts the position of the positioning frame 4. At this time, the air cooler 1 is more stably and conveniently installed on the mounting bracket 2.
[0036] In summary, this auxiliary positioning device for air cooler installation, through the coordinated use of positioning device 8, positioning plate 801, spring 802, positioning rod 803, and positioning groove 12, solves the problem of existing air cooler installations requiring ensuring the accessories are intact before using tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and levels to install the air cooler onto the matching mounting bracket. Although bolt installation is common, the vibration of the air cooler during operation can cause the bolts to gradually loosen, increasing the risk of installation instability. During regular maintenance, frequent disassembly and reassembly of the bolts are required, increasing time and labor costs. However, existing air coolers lack a more stable and convenient component for installation onto the mounting bracket.
